CPDT-KA stands for Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed. Applicants must complete 300 hours of client training before trainers are eligible for an extensive semiannual test. Certificants must demonstrate ongoing education and professional development to maintain credentials. CCPDT offers the only international, standardized certification for professional dog trainers that is both science-based and independent of any course of study.

With this accomplishment by Desiree and Melissa, WOOFS! Dog Training Center now boasts eight trainers that have been credentialed by the Certification Council for Pet Dog Trainers. Congratulations Desiree and Melissa, and thanks for your continued dedication!
